“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Executive Editor of the NYT: The Left Doesn’t Want to Hear Thoughtful Disagreement

by Jews Can Shoot on June 19, 2017

Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the New York Times, said that the left wing in American politics doesn’t want to hear “thoughtful disagreement,” during a panel at Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, on Tuesday.

Baquet was defending the New York Times decision to hire conservative journalist Bret Stephens, who is a climate change skeptic.

“I don’t understand how one can actually have an intellectual discourse in this country if you cannot have the opportunity to read thoughtful people with whom you disagree,” Baquet said.

Baquet continued, “we’re at a moment in the country right now, which I think, you know, the left should do some soul searching, too.”

“The left, as a rule, does not want to hear thoughtful disagreement,” Baquet concluded.

"All too many of the other great tragedies of history—Stalin’s atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few—were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ...
